Bryant Library Online

“A school library is a bridge that connects students with the information that can make a difference in their lives”

The center of the school library has moved far beyond a room with books. This site will keep you in touch with activities happening in the library and connect you to information resources. Bryant Library Online is a central location for locating information resources to help students and parents with homework. You will also find information about books and authors, booktalks and reading lists, and questions to hopefully interest you in finding the answer.

If you have questions or suggestions, please feel free to share.

I hope you found a place for doing some summer reading. My husband and daughter (Tom and Moira) escape the heat at our camp site along Banks Lake in eastern Washington to do some reading. Tom is reading Cadillac Desert: The American West and Its Disappearing Water by Marc Reisner. Moira can’t put down Circle of Magic: Sandry’s Book by Tamora Pierce. She’s wanting to get to my book, The Golden Compass by Philip Pullman.

I’ve been busy reading and listening to the new Sasquatch nomanees, as well as a few extras that I thought were interesting from our Bryant Library. Continue Reading »

Where were you as the clock turned from July 20th to July 21st? My daughter, husband, and I were waiting for the witching hour when we could receive our copy of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. Even the rain couldn’t dampen the spirits of the kids and adults waiting in line at the Secret Garden in Ballard.

It has been a tradition that my husband reads the books (in character) so we were a little slower getting through the book than some, but the t.v. was off and we were experiencing the fate of Harry, Hermoine, Ron and the rest of Dumble Dore’s army. It was great fun for the next few weeks spotting Harry Potter readers of all ages and in many places.

For more information and activities around Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows and everything else Harry, check out Harry Central on Kidsreads.com. Kidsreads.com is a fun place on the web for kids to find out about their favorite books, series and authors. You can read reviews of the newest titles and interviews with the coolest authors.

Where were you caught reading Harry and what was your favorite scene?
